The vegetation and soils at the North Slope Arctic System Science/Land-Atmosphere-Ice Interactions ARCSS/LAII Flux tower sites of F. S. Chapin and W. Oechel on the North Slope of Alaska were described by D. A. Walker, J. Bockheim, and C. L. Ping in 1995 and 1996. The primary source documents for ...

In 2007, one of the first quantitative studies of vegetation from sea level to alpine on Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Islands was completed (Talbot et al. 2010). The focus of the study was to 1) describe the major plant communities along environmental gradients, 2) identify the main vegetation...

The vegetation at Green Cabin on Banks Island, Canada were studied as part of a multi-year project focused on the bicomplexity of patterned-ground plant communities. Patterned ground includes circles, polygons, nets, hummocks, and other features caused by differential freezing processes in soils....

The vegetation of 52 plots at Isachsen (the now closed High Arctic Weather Station) on Ellef Ringnes Island, Canada was studied as part of a multi-year project focused on patterned-ground plant communities. Patterned ground includes circles, polygons, nets, hummocks, and other features caused by ...

The vegetation at Mould Bay on Prince Patrick Island, Canada was studied as part of a multi-year project focused on patterned-ground plant communities. Patterned ground includes circles, polygons, nets, hummocks, and other features caused by differential freezing processes in soils. Vegetation pl...
